Church Projectors & Screens

Church projection can be as simple as a ceiling hung projector and large screen linked to a laptop with SongPro or similar hymn software, to a High Definition multi-screen AV system with PC, video and camera inputs. NAV will recommend and install a projection system that precisely meets your church requirements. When specifying a church projector for installation, our AV surveyor will consider the amount of ambient light, suitability of fixing locations for the projector and the screen and the required aesthetics to sympathetically match the surrounding and importantly the overall functionality of the system.

Church PA and Sound Systems

Whether you are looking to upgrade an existing audio system or design and install from new, we can help. Churches can be some of the most acoustically challenging buildings and audio systems need careful design to ensure that both the coverage and speech/music reproduction is to a high standard. Our highly skilled audio engineers design and install PA and speaker systems that are tried, tested and proven in church environments. We offer a wide range of church sound system solutions, including products from JBL/Harman and HK Audio with the option for speakers colour matched to your buildings decor.

To complement the main sound system, we also supply and install Analog and Digital Mixing Desks (and associated digital stage boxes), wired and wireless microphones and induction loop systems, both traditional and infra-red.

Church Loop Systems

Church Hearing Loop systems, commonly also known as induction loops, are often a vital part of a church service. The church environment is often not well suited for speech reproduction, due to the presence of hard surfaces such as stone and glass which cause considerable reverberation or ‘echo’. Even for those with good hearing it can be challenging to hear the service and for listeners that suffer from hearing loss, it can be extremely difficult. We are frequently approached to make improvements to existing systems which are poorly designed making the situation even worse.

NAV can install a church hearing loop system as part of a new installation or simply integrate one with your existing church audio system. For sensitive installation locations such as listed buildings or where it’s not possible to easily fix a loop cable, we also offer a range of infra-red assistive listening systems to support hearing impaired worshippers.

Church AV Furniture

Aesthetics form a key part of the church environment. To complement our installation systems we offer a range of cost effective, off-the–shelf church furniture that will blend seamlessly into the surroundings, whilst still providing the required functionality. We can also offer bespoke furniture installation services should the extensive range of products not be suited fully to the environment. AV Furniture can be as simple as a lectern with easy to use AV input switching equipment, to multi-person operator desks for digital audio mixers and complex video switching equipment.

Church AV Repairs & Servicing

If you’re in need of emergency repairs, we offer an engineer callout service to help rectify the problem and get you up and running as soon as possible, regardless of who the original supplier was. It’s not our policy to try to sell you new equipment if it’s simply not needed, so we’ll attempt to repair the product before discussing replacement AV equipment.

If your current system requires a simple upgrade or rewire, such as the addition of an induction loop or a wireless microphone we’ll seamlessly integrate this new equipment into your existing church installation.

Our AV servicing & maintenance solutions offer peace of mind for your new or existing audio visual installation. We offer a varied range of fully-transparent service & maintenance agreements to keep your AV installation operating to its full potential. Head over to the ‘AV Maintenance’ page for further information.

We understand and acknowledge that installing audio visual equipment in a place of worship can been seen as intrusive by some parishioners. These opinions are often stronger when considering installations in older, more traditional churches.

At NAV we respect these opinions and always consider the impact the equipment and our work will have the architecture of the church. We have numerous bespoke options that enable almost seamless integration of AV technology, including; discreet speaker systems, low profile LED wall screens and traditional wood cabinets for AV racks. We also supply motorised retractable screen systems that virtually disappear up and out of sight when not in use.

Church AV Installations in Safe Hands

Health & Safety is of prime importance to us, our engineers hold a range of accreditations and certification including: CHAS, Safe Contractor, SSTS, PASMA, IPAF and Police NPPV Level 3 clearance. Our 100% commitment to H&S means our engineers will always work safely and legally whilst at your place of worship. We are fully insured for all our installation and onsite repair work.

Should you require us to remove and dispose of any existing AV equipment or waste ICT electronic equipment, it is all collected and disposed of in accordance with the current Waste Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regulations.
